Tile repair near Darley Abbey

Tile repair at your home in Darley Abbey

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Darley Abbey

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Darley Abbey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Darley Abbey

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Darley Abbey. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
